9mm vs 7.65mm for a shooter?

Howdy

As mentioned above, the 7.65 is more accurate, and more reliable. I have put around 400 rounds through my first Swiss luger, not a jam yet, with factory or reloads. A mag I have for my P08 that has a weak spring, jams with 9mm but works fine with 7.65.

Also, and very important if you reload, and you kind of have to with the 7.65, cast lead bullets group as well as jacketed in the 7.65. I cast Lee's 93 grn bullet, it's shoots as good as it looks, loaded in .30 Luger cases. Lead bullets in 9mm work, but nothing to write home to mother about.
